He said "Monday, June 1 or Tuesday, June 2" (exact quote). So the next possible date is 2026.
I was nicely in green during OPR times, and since November 2019 I have dropped to red.
During OPR times on 2nd of September 2019 I had reviewed 1708 nominations reviewed with 991 agreements (561 accepted, 430 rejected) and I was in green.
In November 2019 I started with Wayfarer. I have a screenshot of my stats from the 19th of November with 1780 nominations reviewed with 1065 agreements (599 accepted, 465 rejected, 1 duplicated) and I was in red.
The next day on the 20th of November 2019 my stats were as follows: 1780 nominations reviewed with 1101 agreements (606 accepted, 491 rejected, 4 duplicated). Then I did 7 more reviews (total nomination reviewed 1787) and dropped to red again.
The day after that on November 22nd 2019 I did 73 more reviews (total nominations reviewed 1860) and took a screenshot right after finishing reviewing and I had 1155 agreements (636 accepted, 508 rejected, 9 duplicated) which means an increase of 54 accepted POIs but I was still in red.
On the 22nd of November 2019 I reviewed another 15 nomintations but I was still in red so I took the test again, so after that I was in yellow and took a screen shot with 1885 nominations reviewed with 1157 agreements ( 639 accepted, 508 rejected, 10 duplicated). I went to review another 239 portals and when I checked back on the 26th of November 2019 my stats were as follows: 2124 nominations reviewed with 1308 agreements - 730 accepted, 555 rejected, 23 duplicated (increase of agreements 151 from last screenshot) but I was in red.
My current stats are: 2621 nominations reviewed and 1589 agreements (914 / 636 / 39) and I am still in red!
I don't know what to do. I have tried everything:
I've started to screenshot my stats after every review to see if there a change in my Wayfarer rating, but nothing. I am in red ever since 26th of November 2019 and none of the agreements that I have made since then have contributed towards my Recon medal.
Ah ok to be fair I did them all literally Over the last few days maybe I’ll wait for a bit then see what happens
@Missmuffet84-PGO that's what I would do, personally- wait a few days and see if your number of agreements start increasing. If this is the case- that the system is basically punishing people for things that haven't finished the voting process- that really s.u.c.k.s. and I hope they adjust that. It kinda seems like that might be one of the issues causing this for so many people.
ah
That makes so much sense. Sorry for bothering you repeatedly with all the tags @NianticCasey-ING . I got my hopes up that Niantic actually cared about their user base and would get back in a short amount of time. I should have realized the hidden year in that message of yours. Will check back with you about this issue in 6 years.
Well you are clearly reviewing too fast and not taking about a day per review. I think you need to familiarize yourself with the guidelines, make sure there is no hidden messages in the title or description. I would also recommend driving (or flying for your bonus location) down to the actual location to confirm if the said POI actually exists. You may want to contact the local government office to see if the POI has any historical or cultural significance. You will also have to spend at least a few hours at the said POI location to assess if it can be safely accessible. I think if you do it this way, your rating will never fall back to yellow/red, AND your Wayfarer profile will never be flagged by Niantic to give you a cool down.
I think I have covered everything, right, @NianticCasey-ING ?
The bug has happned to me as well and I haven't done many reviews since (for other reasons as well that I won't dredge up), but I was curious about if it's safe to continue to do reviews?
In this area it;s 70% trailmarkers that are submissions here, but since April they seem to be systematically been rejected...
What I fear is if I start reviewing and if the (unvalid) rejection of trailmarkers are still continuing my rating will crash even harder.... Am I at risk at any negative lashbacks?
84% agreement rate and I’m in Good. Apparently Niantic thinks I’m only B level for a GPA....
Also, those who think PoGo players are universally accepting everything under the sun can go kick rocks. I decline or not duplicates a third of the time. I’m certain there were some bad Ingress reviewers, as well as bad PoGo reviewers. The difference is that PoGo volume actually made Wayfarer move until this ridiculous bug hit.
I only review like maybe 20 or so until I get tired of all the trash I see. Then go back maybe after a few days. You don't have to lecture me how to review because I know a good quality submission when I see one. Most of the things I've rejected were those images with watermarks and individual house watertanks that were never allowed ever. That's the majority of what comes out these days due to quarantine.
(splash on some report abuse for people trying to convince me to move it somewhere it isn't because they just need to make it come out on pokemon go)
Edit: I'm not sure if im sensing some sarcasm here but ok... I really hope this gets fixed.
We'll see how long this lasts.
I was affected by that bug, restarted reviewing and i'm solid at green now. Before restarting reviewing I usually spent 30 seconds for each review. After spending at least 1 minute my ranking didn't trop anymore: I can suppose that the time per review is a deciding factor for the rating.
I routinely spend at least a minute reviewing each candidate. I check maps, external links, search for the right criteria, plus my computer is rather old and slow. The person with whom I compared stats in a previous message in this thread typically spends far less time on each review and stays green. I really don't think that's the deciding factor - but of course I may be wrong, and would appreciate SOME sort of feedback from Niantic to correct my misperceptions if so.
@NianticCasey-ING please clatify this issue - we want go back for reviewing
My wayfinder rating has just hit red after reviewing some nominations that needed an edit that I stated are clearly private residence and should be removed from the game. Why has this happened? Is it because people are incorrectly reviewing on mass? I'd love to lnow
Many reviewers are experiencing the same. There is a thread about it -”dropped for no reason”...something is very wrong about Wayfarer since april.
Chill. I was being sarcastic. Niantic’s only recommendation to resolve the issue has been to take a minute per review. Funny enough, someone tried that and they still got hit. I was being sarcastic because I am frustrated and annoyed at the level of unprofessionalism that Niantic by their lack of communication and any effort to resolve this issue. I am sure you know how to review. I am sitting in the poor rating after reviewing over 12,500 waypoints and an agreement score of 79%.
I can confirm that. In the last weeks I'm colour-hopping green for years then yellow to red a few weeks ago. After taking a pause I very slowly started again which brought me back to yellow and eventually to green. After that I suddenly was yellow again for about a week then green again. At that point I took at least 1 minute per review (setting in Wayfarer plus) and thought I've found the reason. However: this morning I find myself back in yellow again 🙄. For me this rating system is a total mistery.
Apparently Nicantic is happy with the number of active reviewers. Otherwise they would consider to instruct those they think are not doing a good job how to become better. Instead they just "punish" them by setting them into red without giving a reason, and ignore them.
Just got jumped from yellow to green.
been doing around 10 reviews daily the last days, just did 3 reviews now and 2 where instant agreements.
Been in yellow for over a month until last week when I did a handful of reviews. After the first agreement shortly after reviewing I jumped back into green. Today I look back and I was in yellow again. Just did another 20-25 reviews with a lot of 1* ratings due to bad nominations and now I dropped further down into red.
Alt account went to Green in just 27 reviews. Current account still in Red. Reviewing identical on both
Anddddddddddd back to yellow.
Hello!
Since I started reviewing around 1 year ago when it was implemented on Pogo. I was always on green after the wayfarer Medals were put out. I got dropped to red with no reason, didn't do nothing different that I haven't done in the past. Had been in red for like a week now. Honestly I think is because a lot of users started marking all as good or bad without reviewing after the Wayfarer medal went out at PoGo. Think Niantic should check if one person has been in green for more than a year means is a person that is trustable and better drop to red the new bad reviewers. Is not fair that good reviewers are being affected for new bad ones that only care about the medal and not the community.
My rating as been in the for months now and I can’t find the re test to fix it please help
You can only retake the test once to fix your rating. If you haven't done so already and your rating is red, offer for retaking the test should be on the showcase page, above the featured wayspots.
Ok how can I fix my rating if your all ready took the test once ?
Just went back down from green to yellow. Since last i went from yellow to green i have done 3 reviews in a row a few times and almost instant after each time i gotten 1-2 agreements.
Also woke up & went from Green to Yellow, did 10 reviews last night
Just stop reviewing until this is fixed, don't do free work for no reward.
